Thanks to the Golden Age of Television, AKA the peak prestige TV era, there have been some iconic TV shows that left with us some of the most cinematic, GOATed scenes. You know, the ones that stay with you long after the episode, or even the series, is over. In r/television, someone asked, “What are your thoughts, Reddit? What are some of the best-written scenes in television?” The answers that poured were a catalog of these memorable moments. Here’s what people had to say:
2.
“Community’s ‘Remedial Chaos Theory’ when it’s Troy’s turn to get the pizza.”
